Hi--

We've been using the Alpha Epoch port here for quite a while, but lately one
nasty bug has been causing a lot of trouble.  Our experience suggests that
there is a bug in the regular expression system which manifests itself the
first time (and only the first time) a regexp search is used in an Epoch
session.  Sometimes the symptom is a benign error: Regular expression too big.
But, when in C++ mode, this error causes epoch to crash.

I am sure other people are familiar with this bug, since I've seen this effect
discussed with regards to RMAIL, which complains (under certain conditions
which I have been unable to isolate) when you get new mail as soon as you start
Epoch.

As a final note, I have not seen this bug occur when running normal GNU Emacs
on the Alpha; it seems to be an Epoch problem.

If anyone has fixed this bug, we would greatly appreciate any help.
This has been very frustrating lately.

Thanks,
	.T.
